Lupic Nephropathy: Our experience at the Department of Nephrology

Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most common disease systemic autoimmune disorders that cause kidney damage. AT Conversely, kidney damage is the most common and the most severe visceral involvement of SLE. The most frequent renal involvement is glomerular and there are several types of glomerulonephritis (GN) Lupus now evaluated according to classification histological ISN / RPS (International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society) [1]. Other glomerular disorders such as a Nephrotic syndrome with minimal glomerular lesions are possible but rare. Vascular or interstitial lesions related to lupus may be associated with glomerular damage; they are rarely isolated. Finally, lupus nephropathy is sometimes mixed with renal diseases associated with lupus, the most common being renal antiphospholipid Syndrome.
